I would advise Handbrake over ffmpeg. I have spent months in both and Handbrake yields the best results with the least hassle. Crop, anamorphic pixels, quality, etc.
H265 nvenc is supported on Handbrake now and works great. Very fast.
LOL, easier interface, sure, but:
I actually had problems using Handbrake a few years back, ffmpeg has really good documentation and almost every software uses it under the hood
I have a custom ffmpeg script to automate what Handbrake does in a few clicks. Newer versions of Handbrake are great imo. I was on the fence and spent a lot of time trying to get ffmpeg going but there’s just too many variables for me to continue down that path.
